│ Quick Reference Mark Files for Transfer Download Queue │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
WILDCAT! allows easy marking of files for download by selecting a number
instead of having to remember the entire file name and then typing it all
out later. After selecting this command, you're presented with the
following sub-prompt.
Mark File Command [#, #-#], [A]ll, [E]dit/View, [H]elp?
Below is a list of the available options.
[#, #-#] - File numbers, or a range of numbers to mark for download
[A]ll - Mark all the files displayed on screen for download
[E]dit/View - Edit/Display download queue of previously marked files
[H]elp - Display this Help screen

│ Detailed Description Mark Files for Transfer Download Queue │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
After files have been listed to the screen, you can mark specific ones
for download using this command. This function allows you to enter in the
number enclosed in brackets [ ] to the far left of the file name. This
saves you the headache of trying to remember the exact spelling of each
file you wish to download.
Marked file names are stored in a temporary buffer, and may be viewed and
modified as your listing continues. Since this is a temporary queue, if
you choose not to download the marked files, when you logoff the system,
the download queue will be automatically cleared.
The mark prompt appears as follows:
Mark File Command [#, #-#], [A]ll, [E]dit/View, [H]elp?
Files may be marked individually or in groups by number. Each screen full
of files is numbered from 1 to the maximum number which will fit on a
single screen display. Files can be marked individually, in groups or any
combination thereof. To mark files numbered 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10, you
would enter the command [2 4-8 10].
If for some reason you attempt to mark a file that is already in the marked
list, you will be informed so and then allowed to continue. You will not
be able to have duplicate file names in the marked list at the same time.
Below is a brief description of the available options.
[A]ll -
This will mark all the files displayed on the screen for download.
If the number of daily downloads set by the SysOp is exceeded,
only those selected prior to the maximum will be marked for
download. In other words, if the maximum downloads per day is
set to 5 and you select 7 with this command, only the first 5 will
be allowed and you will be notified for the remainder of the
selected files that you have exceeded your maximum daily limit.
[E]dit/View -
Selecting this option presents a display of the files that have
already been previously marked. These are listed by number
showing the file size and approximate transfer time for each file.
Additionally, there is total transfer time and kilobytes for all
the files in the queue. This is handy in getting a good idea how
long the total transfer will be. Below is a sample display.
Item File Name File Size D/L Time
---- ------------ --------- --------
[ 1] ALLFILES.TXT 23,993 00:02:44
[ 2] WILDMAIL.ZIP 170,229 00:17:19
[ 3] TOMCAT.ZIP 78,375 00:08:11
Total Files Queued D/L Bytes Est time
------------------ --------- --------
3 272,597 00:28:14
Edit marked files command:
[R]emove item, [C]lear List, [A]dd file, [Q]uit edit? [ ]
Below is a description of the available options.
[R]emove item -
This option will allow you to remove a single file from the
marked list. This would normally be used if you found a more
current version of a file or simply don't wish to download it.
[C]lear list -
This will clear the entire list of file names that have been
previously marked for download.
[A]dd file -
This option allows you to manually type in a file name to add
to the download queue.
[Q]uit edit -
This will exit the edit mode and return you to the file
listing.
[H]elp -
Displays this Help screen.
Should you encounter difficulties in downloading, those files that have
not been successfully downloaded, will remain in the list for a later
download attempt.
